like an episode of ‘Who do you Think You Are?’ hosted by Egon Spengler.

Something to watch out for in the near future is ‘real x-men’ or people with ‘special powers’ it will sound crazy, however there are many here with abilities they may not know about but their egos and their current mindset have suppressed them.That’s the villain for Avengers II sorted. Tagline “He fixed it for them. TO DIE.”

I got dragged along to see one of David Icke's lectures in the early 90s, during his "Turquoise Period". Thankfully, the rest of the crowd seemed to be students - there for a chuckle at his expense rather than the knob-ends quoted in the blog. Not exactly a highpoint of my life but the same friend dragged me along to see Dread Zeppelin a couple of weeks later, so it all balanced out in the end, I suppose. ]]>

Savile given free hand to lurch about in morgues. I wonder if he can be linked in to an illicit organ harvesting racket?

To which somebody else replies:

I think that’s probably a bit of a stretch. The black market in organs is very real but they have their own people. Savile seems to be more about the occult/ritual/energy harvesting side of things for the elite.

The Editing Room - Abridged Scripts for MoviesWelcome to The Editing Room, home of the original Abridged Script. What's an Abridged Script, you ask? Think of them like Cliff's Notes for popular movies, except that Cliff is an asshole because he thinks your favorite movie sucks.

ZOMBIELANDThe Abridged ScriptFADE IN:EXT. POST-APOCOLYPTIC WASTELAND

MICHAEL CERA is FIGHTING ZOMBIES and TALKING TO THE AUDIENCE.

JESSE EISENBERG (V.O.)Stop calling me Michael Cera! I hate that! Anyway, I’m here to give you tips about surviving in a zombie apocalypse parody. I find that being fussy, adorably awkward, and altogether Michael Cera-like works best.Suddenly, WOODY HARRELSON shows up in a BAD-ASS SUV.

“Right now, Americans all across the country are watching the aftermath of this storm and at long last recognizing that this is what life is like now,” said Dr. Richard Morales, a climatologist at the University of Pennsylvania. “Admittedly, it could take a little while for some to fully acknowledge it, but at the end of the day, people will be much happier once they accept that they and their loved ones will likely suffer the consequences of an even stronger, more deadly hurricane at some point very soon. It’s going to happen.”

“I went through something very similar a few years ago when I finally came to terms with the fact that no one would ever listen to anything I said about global warming,” Morales added. “And that it is entirely too late to do anything about it.”

Surfridge began in the 1920's, when Fritz Burns, a young realtor from Minneapolis, developed the land into a neighborhood for the wealthy. Cecil B. DeMille and Carmen Miranda owned homes in Surfridge. But as the city began to prosper, so did the airport across the street. As LAX grew closer to Surfridge, noise from the jets rattled the windows of the homes. In the sixties and early seventies, the airport purchased all the houses there, began clearing them off the land, and fenced off the deserted town. ]]>

NYC Unplugged: a series by photographer Randy Scott Slavin documenting the darkness in New York City after Hurricane Sandy caused widespread power outages:

New York City is always bright. Street lights, business marquees, light from apartments and car headlights merge to light every corner of the city streets, even on the darkest nights. It is the night after NYC was decimated by Hurricane Sandy, downtown NYC is in the midst of a power outage that has plunged it into complete darkness. I felt the call to hit the eerily dark streets and show New York as it is rarely seen. Trekking around with my tripod I was able to get the long exposures necessary to see in the dark.

If you aren’t sure whether you do or don’t want to talk to your friends about it because you aren’t sure whether you are a reasonable person experiencing occasional insecurity or a neurotic person who cannot be soothed, drink.

In conclusion, I'm an experienced photographer and talked with a graphic designer friend of mine and we can both confirm that none of the photos in the above set were shopped. Like Alan said, the shadows match up.

Also the captions for the photos creep me the hell out. ]]>

The petition was posted on Nov 7th, and requires 25,000 signatures by the 7th of December. It requests that the US federal government remove marijuana from the list of federally controlled substances, leaving regulation to the states. At the time of writing there are 25,367 signatures - any guesses on how many there'll be in a month's time?

And the probably inspirational Japanese example, which features chair-throwing and slamming-against-the-wall panic:

Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.(2) Make "speeches" Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your "points" by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences. Never hesitate to make a fewappropriate "patriotic"-comments.(3) When possible, refer all matters to committees, for "further study and consideration." Attempt to make the committees as large as possible - never less than five.(4) Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.(5) Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.(6) Refer back to matters decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to re-open the question of the advisability of that decision.(7) Advocate "caution." Be unreasonable and urge your fellow-conferees to be "reasonable" and avoid haste which might result in embarrassments or difficulties later on.(8) Be worried about the propriety of any decision - raise the question of whether such action as is contemplated lies within the jurisdiction of the group or whether it might conflict with the policy of some higher echelon. ]]>

It isn't as brilliant as some of his later works. It isn't clear from the web page composition that we're dealing with a satire on Jack Chick pamphlets. But man:

Uah, a slight threadjack, but with Iron Sky there's been this certain quotient of utter nutbags who saw all kinds of weird references and conspiracies behind the film. I think this is the best one so far in terms of sheer elaborateness. Paranoid schizophrenia is not a laughing matter, but damn, this guy got me at the Batman logo :D 11-3-2012 Nazi Sympathizer Sarah Palin in ‘Iron Sky’

I read through a couple of the rambling posts and I can't figure out if this is brilliant satire or the work of a true paranoid schizophrenic or if I should be worried that the Hoover Dam is in reality a giant star gate designed to turn the sun into a death star? Hoover Dam Star Gate Any thoughts? ]]>

Unusual baby names of 2012 (presumably from the U.S.)

I had a more or less average life for a while until the age of 33… I had a good middle-class upbringing, in a loving family where I was the eldest of two brothers, and after school I studied Electrical Engineering. I became a software developer, and progressed fairly normally from junior, through intermediate level, and finally became a senior developer.

But around the same time I became a senior developer, due to several personal issues, I also became a drug addict, with methamphetamine as my drug of choice. This began a downward spiral which lasted for five years and at first only left me demoted from senior back to intermediate developer level, but eventually left me with nothing; no possessions, no car, no house, no job, nothing but a couple of pairs of shorts and t-shirts. ]]>

problem has always more been about people who go, "I just played Angry Birds for three hours, I'm such a nerd LOL!" more than girls who wear Batman t-shirts just because they think Batman is a cool character (because, honestly, who doesn't?) or someone wanting to dress up as something fun to dress up as. Also, if guys are seriously calling out every girl they see on their 'geek cred', they better fucking start calling out every guy, too. ]]>

The joy I've seen at anime cons compared to comic conventions for accepting everyone who is interested in comics is jarring. ]]>

Alan Moore portrait in the Observer. Not much new for those who already know the character, but it contains this :

When another of Moore's old computer keyboards was put up for auction on eBay, last year, the seller hazarded that it "may contain otherworldy powers". It went for £461, despite having a faulty Z key. Walking in Northampton, Moore explains that his old keyboards have ended up on eBay, or in that museum in Charleroi, because he has had to decommission so many of them. He currently writes on an industrial-strength keyboard made of metal, properly meant for use in foundries and conflict zones. The plastic sort used to last him a few months before melting under the constant spray of cigarette ash, or otherwise breaking from overuse.

Winning sarcastic comment on the Deadspin article: "Why is there a black guy on TV while I'm watching an NFL game?!?!?!" (for those of you unfamiliar with American football, A LOT of the players are black)

The “Golden Eagle Snatches Kid” video, uploaded to YouTube on the evening of December 18, was made by Normand Archambault, Loïc Mireault and Félix Marquis-Poulin, students at Centre NAD, in the production simulation workshop class of the Bachelors degree in 3D Animation and Digital Design.

perfect timing. Went from not needing glasses to suddenly having to find two different pairs last Friday, and the only place I've seen so far who make them big enough to fit my oversized noggin were Fatheadz.

Her twitter.Her deviantart.Her Tumblr (or one of them. Pretty sure she has a few.)I remember hearing her get sort of bummed that that was going around without credit. The person that put it online got the images from the only website without a watermark, because if it had a watermark it would end up on prints of the images. I love those things though, and I'm glad to see them pop up here. ]]>
